FC Barcelona has Marcus Rashford on its radar as one of the main targets to strengthen its squad in this winter transfer window. The English forward, who could leave Manchester United in this period, is interested in wearing the blue and garnet shirt. However, the Catalan club faces significant financial challenges that need to be resolved before finalizing his transfer.
The recent sale of VIP boxes at the future Spotify Camp Nou has generated a significant income of 100 million euros, allowing Barcelona to operate again under the 1:1 rule for transfers. This means that for every euro earned or saved, the club can spend an equivalent amount on new signings. Although this situation provides some relief, the salary cap issue remains a key barrier to making new moves.
Rashford will only arrive if there are departures at Barcelona
To sign Rashford, Barcelona needs to free up space in its wage bill. This requires the sports management to consider offloading players who do not fit Hansi Flick's plans or could bring significant income to the club. Without these departures, the operation would be unfeasible.
As reported by Marca, the English United forward is willing to seek a change and sees Barça as an attractive option to revive his career. The mutual interest is on the table, but the final decision will depend on Barcelona's ability to find creative solutions within the challenging financial context it faces.
